Cisco Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 Installationsanleitung

Inline upgrade is simpler than system migration, and requires no new hardware.

If you are upgrading from Prime Infrastructure 1.x small virtual machine, you should create a new virtual machine with 
the Express OVA, back up your existing small virtual machine, and then restore it on the new virtual machine. You can 
delete the old small virtual machine after the new virtual machine is fully operational. Inline upgrade of the small virtual 
machine is not supported.

Before you begin, remove any existing High Availability configuration from your primary and secondary Prime 
Infrastructure servers. You can do this using either of the following options:

Launch Prime Infrastructure, choose Administration > High Availability > HA Configuration, and click Remove.

Go to admin console and run the ncs ha remove command.

Copy the upgrade file downloaded from cisco.com to the default repository: 

admin# copy source disk:/defaultRepo

Where:

 is the application upgrade file’s URL, path and filename (for example: 

FTP://<YourFTPServer>/

PI-Upgrade-2.0.0.0.294.tar.gz).

is the disk and path to the local defaultRepo.

Stop the Prime Infrastructure server by entering the command ncs stop.

Run the application upgrade:

This step can take 30 minutes or more to complete, depending on the size of the application database.

When the upgrade is complete:

Verify that the application is running by entering the command ncs status command.

Instruct users to clear the browser cache on all client machines that accessed an older version of Prime 
Infrastructure before they try to connect to the upgraded Prime Infrastructure server.

If you run into problems creating a backup after you have upgraded to version 2.0, see 

If you were using external AAA (RADIUS or TACACS) before the upgrade, see
